- Right now only allows removal
- Could also add support for adding/reordering, but it's not clear
that's necessary
- Triggered from the Display options menu, could also be added to Tools
toolbar menu
- Adds saved groupings to the Group by menu
- Currently missing a way to manage saved groupings
- Saved groupings are in a new section of the config file as
"GroupingName"->ByteArray serialization
library view sorts the library and display the contents in alphabetical order (bold letter/number followed by a line) . the line cannot be themed as it is hard-coded "QPen line_pen(opt.palette.color(QPalette::Dark))". Here i try to remove the line, align the letter to left and give the letter a highlight using QRect. this way it looks better and is completely themable ...
I'll reference #4379
When viewing the library with album covers visible, the covers load very slowly the first time
as they have to wait on the tagreaders. If I scroll down the library, it takes minutes for the
tagreader to catch up. The nice thing is that the pixmaps are cached. However, once
Clementine is restarted, the whole process has to happen again.
This patch adds a persistent disk cache in the form of a QNetworkDiskCache to store the
pixmaps on disk and load them into the QPixmapCache as required.
I've noted literally night and day performance improvements, not only when scrolling through the library.
There is much better interface responsiveness when searching, and I no longer see the no_cover_icon
temporarily anymore.
